...but unfortunately they also have to play like 25 more consecutive games.

The Red Sox have 19 games left over the next 20 days. By comparison, the White Sox and Yankees both have 20 games left. The Angels and A's have 19. The Indians have 18.
The Red Sox certainly have a shot at catching Chicago. The White Sox simply haven't been that good since the All-Star break. Since then, they've been 30-26 (Before the break they were 57-29). The 7 games against Minnesota and the 6 games against Cleveland will be critical.

I agree with this statement. I would feel much better about the playoffs if the White Sox weren't stumbling. That said, they've got 20 games left, all against the AL Central, which they're 40-14 against this year so far. I don't think 14-6 or 15-5 during this stretch is out of the question. That would give them 100+ wins. 97 or 98 should be plenty.
